Sharon,

I don't have any words to heal the pain and sorrow that I know you are going through at this time, I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my deepest thoughts and prayers at this time.

The last time I saw Shelly was at my going away party in March 2002...In the age of email, Shelly is the only person to send me a hand written letter. I have, basically, been out to sea since October and happened to be home for the weekend when I received the heartbreaking news. The world will not be the same without her beautiful smile and jubilant laughter. I send all my strength, energy and prayers to surround her family and friends. I love this girl with all my heart and I know her light will shine FOREVER...Memories last a lifetime! Sharon and Dave, Please accept my most sincere sympathy and apology for not being able to attend the funeral.

I met Shelly through a co-worker of her's from the Hyatt. I only spent a handful of times hanging out with her, but I thoroughly enjoyed her company. She had a great sense of humor and a wonderful laugh. I'm so saddened by her passing. I pray to God to help your family through this tragic time.

I worked with Shelly at the Hyatt and we became really good friends. We went to Westport a couple of times and really became close until I took another job. Then I ran into her on the street after she took her new job at Shook, Hardy and Bacon and we promised each other we would have lunch sometime. Now I wish we had followed through on that promise. She is truly missed and very much loved.

Dear Sharon & Dave~~

I don't know if you would remember me, but Shelly & I were good friends in high school. I met her in our junior year in Algebra. She sat right in front of me and that's how I got to know her. I hadn't talked to Shelly in about 10 years....and I thought of her often wondering what she was doing now. I heard this news from my brother, Steve Cindrich (who knows Brian & Kim). I was in total shock. I will miss Shelly very much and I will pray for you, the rest of Shelly's family, and to Shelly in heaven.

My daughter was Shelly's roommate several years ago.

Brandi is currently in the Navy stationed in Hawaii, and not able to get home. Our deepest sympathy is with you all. Shelly was a wonderful young lady, and will be sorely missed. May God be with you all.
